Your Guiding Light Through The Progressive Fog

The open enrollment period for Obamacare was extended earlier this week. Today Wednesday March 26th, 2014 Harry Reid was gracious enough to explain to us simpletons just why the Obama Administration decided to illegally delay extended the open enrollment period. According to Senator Reid, the people of this country are just too stupid to do it. It had nothing to do with the obvious design flaws of the law, the incompetence of those executing it, or the failure of the website, the extension was granted because we are just too stupid to sign up.

Senator Reid told reporters today, “We have hundreds of thousands of people who tried to sign up who didn’t get through. There are some people who are not like my grandchildren who can handle everything so easily on the Internet, and these people need a little extra time.” He further explained, “It’s not — the example they gave us is a 63-year-old woman came into the store and said, ‘I almost got it. Every time I just about got there, it would cut me off.’ We have a lot of people just like this through no fault of the Internet, but because people are not educated on how to use the Internet” No where in his comments does he reference the website errors.

So as I said according to Harry Reid, the open enrollment period was extended because you are just too stupid to figure out how to use that there inter-webs. It is the fault of the American People, not the government, that the sign ups did not reach their intended goal. Are there some people who had trouble getting on because they are technologically illiterate, sure, I’d bet dollars to pesos there are people who faced that issue. However, I am willing to be the majority of people who don’t know how to use computers, picked up this thing called a phone, and called the health care hotline to apply.

Every time the Soft Spoken Tyrant opens his mouth he gives shining examples of the contempt that he and his fellow progressive elitists have for the rest of the country. He could have been honest, “enrollment numbers are low, so it was decided to extend the open enrollment period, to give people who may have encountered technical difficulties a chance to sign up.” Cut the BS, and feed it to us straight.

I have two new stories dealing with how fire arms have helped protect law abiding citizens.

The first is a shocking tale. It comes to us from Michigan, where a heroin addict attempted to steal a $179 battery powered drill. The addict stabbed the stores loss prevention officer several times with a contaminated syringe. A customer with a concealed carry permit saw the altercation, and intervened. He pulled his firearm, and told the suspect to drop the syringe and get on the ground. According to the police, after the suspect was confronted by the armed citizen (who has chosen to remain anonymous), he immediately stopped fighting and sat down. He was able to make a break for it, when he heard the police coming, but he was quickly apprehended.

The second comes from Detroit, where a Jets Pizza Delivery driver was attacked by to thugs posing as customers. The criminals grabbed the man, and pulled a gun on him, demanding money. The Driver pulled his own firearm and shot the suspects. The suspects fled in a vehicle, and the driver called the police. One of the suspects was found at a hospital suffering from, you guessed it, multiple gun shot wounds. The other was arrested soon after.

How would these events have ended if draconian progressive gun laws were in place? If every citizen was made a victim as progressive dream. amendment

Shelia Jackson Lee, Democrat Representative from Texas showed the world her comprehension of American history. On March 12, 2014 Representative Lee, a graduate of Yale, and University of Virginia Law School, had this to say, “Maybe I should offer a good thanks to the distinguished members of the majority, the Republicans, my chairman and others, for giving us an opportunity to have a deliberative constitutional discussion that reinforces the sanctity of this nation and how well it is that we have lasted some 400 years, operating under a Constitution that clearly defines what is constitutional and what is not”. 400 years… so Representative Lee believes that we have been operating under the Constitution for 400 years. So According to this law school graduate, the Constitution was ratified in 1614. To put that in perspective, in 1614 James Town was the host to the wedding of Pocahontas and John Rolfe.

1614, I could almost understand if she said 1776, I could almost convince myself that a law school grad made a simple mistake. How can one graduate from Yale and not know that the Constitution of The United States was ratified September 17, 1787, which works out to 227 years ago.

Representative Lee is an embarrassment to Texas. For this she has earned a spot in the Progressive Hall of Shame

Bad news out of Florida, well bad news if you are a radical progressive whose is praying to Marx that the Democrats can hold on to the Senate. Great news out of Florida if you are a free thinking, sentient being, who values liberty and the rule of law. The upset of the century took place in Florida yesterday March 11th, 2014, where David Jolly won a special election in the 13th district to fill the seat vacated by the death of Representative Bill Young. Jolly is a Republican, and while his name is not well known nationally, his election is sending shivers down the spines of the progressive hoard.
Why, why is the election of David Jolly going to strike fear in the cavernous void vacated by a progressive heart? Because he was not supposed to win, just like the TEA Party was not supposed to win. Yes Bill Young was a Republican, but the assumption made by the media and the progressive movement was that Jolly would be unable to retain the seat for the GOP. The odds were stacked against him, everything pointed towards the victory that the progressive movement so desperately needs.

The deck was stacked against Jolly, in this a race that according to the non-partisan Rothenberg Political Report was a must win for Democrats, and yet he still one. Jolly was running for office in a district that President Obama won in 2008, and 2012. He emerged the candidate only after a brutal primary, a battered and damaged contender. He was a first time candidate, competing against a former gubernatorial candidate who had much better name recognition. He ever had the curse of a third party candidate, which almost always spells death for the GOP. Yet despite all of this, Jolly still won. The question that both sides must ask themselves is how?
The answer is simple, despite their best efforts, the radical Democrat Agenda fails to resonate among the American People, and Obamacare is a death nail to Democrat candidates. Alex Sink, the lady who faced Jolly in the primary, pulled out all the stops to bring Jolly down, to shake off the black spot of Obamacare. She poured money into the campaign, she tried to make the campaign about anything other than Obamacare. She descended down into the bowls of political hell to demonize and destroy Jolly. She went so far as to label him a heretic, she accused him of being global warming denier. Global warming after all, is the issue that grips the hearts of every last American. Global warming, is the issue that will shape this election… well that is what the Democrats are hoping for. Alex Sink tried to turn Jolly’s position on global warming into a political albatross that would guarantee his defeat.
The problem though is that the American People barely concern themselves about “climate change”. It is hard to take the issue seriously when they claim that the science is settled on “consensus” rather than facts, when scandals like Climate-Gate reveal the corruption behind the consensus. It is hard to run on global warming, when the country is frozen over. Alex Sink tried to create a political albatross to take down Jolly, she might as well have sent a political parakeet to do the job. For as vast a shadow as an albatross casts, it pales in comparison to the sheer terror generated by the 800 pound gorilla in the room, Obamacare.
Obamacare has taken peoples insurance from them, caused people to lose their jobs, cost them hours at work. It threatens them with ever increasing costs, and uncertainty. The Democrats have tied their fate to Obamacare, they forced it on us, they fought for it, they shut down the government to defend it. They own Obamacare, and they will pay the price for their contempt towards the will of the American People. This election in Florida proved that. The out spent, battered, global warming denier, defeated the sure bet Democrat.

Now, I am of course aware that the Democrats are quick to recover, they are quick to do damage control, and they are quick to go on the offensive. Something that you honestly have to respect them for. Debbie Wasserman Shultz was quick to belittle this race, the one that once heralded the revival of the Democrat Party. Ms. Shultz said, “Republican special interest groups poured in millions to hold onto a Republican congressional district that they’ve comfortably held for nearly 60 years. Tonight, Republicans fell short of their normal margin in this district because the agenda they are offering voters has a singular focus – that a majority of voters oppose – repealing the Affordable Care Act” I truly love the way the progressive mind works. Let us examine the validity of her response.
To begin Ms. Shultz tried to conjure up a classic Democrat argument. She blamed the loss in part due to “Republican special interest groups” pouring millions into the race. If that was all you heard, you would think that the Republicans bought this election. Democrats constantly try to make it sound as if they are strapped for cash, that they cannot possibly compete against the cooperate financing that pads GOP pockets. However, we know that Alex Sink out spent David Jolly by over $1.5 million dollars. So, even if those evil GOP special interest groups did pour millions into the race, the Democrat Party still out spent the GOP. So I really fail to see the validity of this first part of her statement. If examined factually it serves no other purpose then deceiving the public through a misrepresentation of the facts.
Next, Ms. Shultz tried to perform a magic trick. She tried to pull a democrat victory from this colossal defeat. She tried to paint this as a loss for the GOP. So this beaten and battered, underfunded, rookie defies the odds and defeats the full fury of the Democrat machine, and we are supposed to believe that this is a sign of the weakness in the GOP? Ms. Shultz said that special interest groups poured millions into the race to hold a GOP district that they have held for 60 years, and that “Republicans fell short of their normal margin in this district because the agenda they are offering voters has a singular focus….” That focus being of course the repeal of Obamacare, which the Democrats are now referring to only as the Affordable Care Act. So let us examine the facts. First off, yes there has been a GOP Representative from this district for 60 years, but how strong of a Republican District can it be when it was won handedly by someone as radical as Barack Obama, in both 2008 and 2012? Then there is the claim that because the Jolly did not win in the large numbers normally seen in the past, somehow that makes this a loss for the GOP. This is a nice slide of hand, but yet again owes its perceived validity to a perceived ignorance of the listener. Jolly won the race 48.5% to 46.7% now that does not seem like a very solid victory however it fails to take into account the x factor. The X factor in this race, and why it is amazing that Jolly was able to win, was the presence of a third party candidate. Typically third party candidates syphon votes away from the GOP. The Libertarian Candidate took 5% of the vote, 5% that in all honesty would not have found its way to the Democrats in the absence of the third option. The libertarian syphoned the political base away from the GOP, yet he was still able to win. When the race results break down to 48.5% to 46.7% to 5% the GOP victory becomes all the more amazing. So again, Ms. Shultz is playing of a perceived ignorance of the American People.
Florida is but the first of many. It proves the toxicity of Obamacare, and the vitriolic rhetoric of the Democrat Party are going to be the death of the Democrat Party.

Obamacare, also known as the Unaffordable Care Act, has been negatively affecting the lives of millions of people all around the country. Well to be honest that statement is true only if you live in the real world. If you live in the bizzaro world of Harry Reid, everyone is fine, and all the horror stories of Obamacare are nothing more than lies. We all unfortunately live exist in the real world, whether we choose to live there or not. President Obama has campaigned non-stop trying to convince the people of this country that they should just submit to Obamacare, and accept it. He even went as far as to tell the lie of the century, “If you like your plan you can keep it”.

Well the liar and chief is back at it again. He finished his round of golf and headed out to mingle with the commoners. President Obama was at the Newseum, and participated in a town hall meeting dealing with the importance of Latinos capitalizing on Obamacare benefits.

The moderator asked President Obama, “This question comes from a man who says he wanted Obamacare for a family of three. He says he makes $36,000 a year. The minimum he could find, the minimum premium is $316 a month. He says, ‘I think that’s too much. I can’t afford that on $36,000.’ Now, Mr. President, a lot has been said about the costs and families that live paycheck to paycheck, $316 a month for health care, that might be a lot. What would you say to that man?”

President Obama responded with words of wisdom that defy our time, “I guess what I would say is, if you looked at that person’s budget, and you looked at their cable bill, their telephone, their cell phone bill, it may turn out that it’s just they haven’t prioritized health care because right now everybody’s healthy. Nobody actually wants to spend money on health insurance until they get sick.”So that’s it, Harry Reid is right, Obamacare is not the problem, the fact that Obamacare has done nothing but increase the cost of healthcare, lead to the cancelations of millions of policies, has nothing to do with individual suffering in America. They are not suffering because Obamacare was a poorly written law designed to collapse the health insurance industry. They are suffering because they are greedy, they are irresponsible. President Obama’s law isn’t to blame, President Obama’s radical agenda is not to blame, it is your fault. You are irresponsible.

I ask you what has changed? Before there were people who could not afford health insurance, yet had a car, had cable tv, and cellphones. Now after Obamacare has ravaged the nation we still have people who cannot afford health insurance, yet have a car, have cable tv, and cellphones. So, just mandating that people buy health insurance does not make it more affordable… it is almost like you cannot mandate human activity.

I get a bigger kick out of President Obama having the audacity to discuss the failures in peoples budgeting practices. He has presided over the largest era of spending and deficits in our nations history. In 2008 we had an “unpatriotic deficit” of 400 billion dollars, then President Obama steps in spends 787 billion dollars to pay off his campaign donors… I mean stimulate the economy, steal GM and Chrysler to pay off the UAW, and we saw national deficits of 1.2 trillion dollars. President Obama’s response, was not to trim spending, or prioritize, it was to blame Republicans, mock the TEA Party, and demand more spending, and more taxes. Taking budget advice from President Obama is like taking dieting advice from Rosy O’Donnell.

I digress, in essence, President Obama is basically saying that his law would work, if you were not so damn greedy. If you would just give up your cellphones, and your cable TV he would not be saddled with a legacy of absolute failure. If you would just give up your Cable TV, you would not have access to that ridiculous Fox News channel, that pesky news organization that is actually willing to report the truth on matters relating to the radical nature of this administration. Basically Obamacare should not have been called “The Affordable Care Act” it should have been called “The Affordable, if you live in the Stone Age, Care Act”.

2014 is the year this madness stops. We must free the Senate from the Tyranny of its soft spoken tyrant. True limited government conservatism must reign in the hallowed halls of DC.

Harry Reid, the tyrannical thug whose icy grip has strangled the Senate for the last five years, has once again revealed the true nature of the callus void where once existed a heart. He has revealed to us, yet again that Party is more important to him than the wellbeing of the nation. That the end game of his radical ideology is more important than the suffering of millions. The Soft Spoken Tyrant of the Senate has once again shown the monster that lurks just beneath of the surface of his arrogant shell.
It is no secret that the Democrat Party is in trouble, and there is a very real chance that President Obama will be made a lame duck in 2014, when the GOP retakes the Senate. The seeds of this destruction where sewn in the early days of President Obama’s tenure, when the Democrat controlled House of Representatives, and the Democrat controlled Senate pushed through some of the most radical legislation in this country’s history. The one issue that awoke the silent majority of this nation, is the one that has dominated the news sense President Obama’s re-election, and that is Obamacare. The law that no one wanted, rammed through congress, and signed despite the majority of the country opposing it.
It was Obamacare, and the arrogance demonstrated by the Democrats in its passage that led to the largest transfer of power in this country’s history, the 2010 midterm. Now it seems as though Obamacare will be the issue that brings an end to the tyranny of Harry Reid. Horror stories of people losing their doctors, their health insurance, their medical plans, their medications, and their jobs are springing up all around the country. Countless tales of hardships flood the media, as was predicted by conservatives the nation over. The promise “if you like your plan, you can keep it” is ringing as false today, as members of the TEA Party predicted. So what are radical progressives to do? This is their last shot at destroying the American Republic. This is their last chance to transform this shining nation upon a hill, into a socialist state. Extinction looms, doom is at hand, they have to do something.
The Soft Spoken Tyrant of The Senate knows only one way to combat negative press, simply change the facts, and blame Republicans. The GOP was blamed for shutting down the government, when in fact it was Harry Reid, who would not let a single bill passed by the House of Representatives come to the floor in the Senate. He refused to compromise, and shut down the government, yet somehow it was the GOP controlled House, the chamber that actually compromised, that actually passed legislation, that was to blame, not the tyrant of the Senate. The GOP passed a bill to restore funding for Children’s Medical Research, and when asked about it Harry Reid said “Why would I want to do that”. His radical devotion to ideology, to party, is dangerous.
Now with the devastation brought by Obamacare, becoming clear for all the world to see, the Soft Spoken Tyrant has once again entered the fray. He has once again shown the world just why it is we cannot allow progressive to control the Senate. On Wednesday February 26th, Harry Reid took to the floor of the Senate, and addressed the countless tales of hardship and suffering, brought upon by the progressive power grab known as Obamacare. “There’s plenty of horror stories being told. All of them are untrue, but they’re being told all over America — tales, stories made up from whole cloth, lies, distorted by the Republicans to grab headlines or make political advertisements” So every last person who claims that they have suffered hardships because of Obamacare is lying. The Millions of people who lost their health insurance are lying. The millions of people who are now having to pay more for their health insurance are lying.
The audacity of this slithering piece of human refuse makes my blood boil. To say that everyone who claims to have been negatively affected by this radical power grab is a liar, shows a level of contempt and arrogance that is nearly incomprehensible. This is a yet another in a long list of events that show why this year we must do what it takes to ensure that the Senate is liberated from its Soft Spoken Tyrant. Washington cannot function when such cruel hearted filth is allowed to shut down one entire branch.
